Anqi Liu

I am a scholar specializing in modern and contemporary Sinophone and Chinese diasporic narratives. Prior to joining DePauw University, I taught Chinese literature, culture, and language at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and Georgetown University. My research, grounded in the intersection of the humanities and social sciences, spans a range of topics, including transnational literary production, ethnic studies, digital humanities and media studies, and gender studies. Through this interdisciplinary lens, my study investigates the shifting dynamics of identity, culture, and representation in the context of global China, with particular attention to how crisis-driven knowledge is produced and transmitted across spatial and political boundaries. I am currently working on my first monograph (Ohio State University Press), which probes critical history, the politics of ethnicity, diasporic subjectivity, and Chinese femininity.
